Bought hair dye from Hot Topic?

Question

I bought a bright pink hair dye from hot topic and its supposed to last for up to six washes. But I have black hair so I also bought the bleach. I was wondering if the bleach will make it last longer or will it wash out sooner? Will the bleach wash out also?

And also, how long should I wait before bleaching and coloring it pink?

Answer 1

the bleach will last months.

The hair dye will last 6 weeks.

Bleach has no effect on how long the hair colour lasts.

BTW, once the pink has washed out, you WILL be left with bleached hair so afterwards you may wanna get a black hair dye again or something if the bleached hair looks c**p.

how long?

Let the bleached hair dry and then you can do it pink.

Answer 2

the bleach will never wash out, it's bleach, so it's permanent. i don't suggest using bleach, it damages really badly if you bring it up from black, i suggest using the pink, leave it on to develop longer, and put some of the dye in your shampoo, it sounds weird, but it helps keep the color in.

Answer 3

it will not show up on ur hair without bleaching it i have realy dark hair too and i bleched mine to do bright red and as long as u dont leave it on longer than it says and use a good conditioner it wont ruin ur hair the bleach isnt really gonna make it last longer but it will hold the color better than say light brown hair. i bleached my hair washed it out and put the hair dye on when i did it. i used manic panic tho which i got at a sallys beauty supply my ex introduced me to it. i also used this loreal color rays stuff which was amazing and it did the whole bleach and color thing together at one time so no nonsense and it was probably cheaper than the hot topic and tehy had pink so really i would suggest that stuff instead and it will last longer than 6 washes much longer it did for me anyway the manic panic even lasts longer but yea u'll be fine i do suggest the loreal stuff tho they make it specifically for dark hair too.

Is your hair naturally Black or is it dyed black? If your hair has been dyed black then you might have a problem. Bleach strips the colour from your hair which basically means your taking colour out not putting it in like hair dye does. If you bleach your hair when its dyed black then you run the risk of over processing it and melting it off. If its naturally dark you might be ok. Raquel Reed (A teal-Haired Alternative model) once said she bleaches her hair white and puts in the teal hair dye in. You might be able to let your hair lift up to an orange colour and then put in the pink. also once you bleach your hair and the pink begins to wash out you wont end up with blond hair you'll end up with a faded pink colour. so you'll just have to but the pink back in every time it does. dying your hair is a lot of work especially if its a fashion colour. If you don't feel up to the work then a good alternative is to have pink extensions laced into you hair. :) help this helps
